Who will Bell the Cat Story - Who will Tie the Bell on the Cat’s Neck?

Once upon a time, there was a rich man who had a big problem with rats in his house. It was like the story of the town of Hamelin, where rats were everywhere causing trouble. They were causing all sorts of problems—stealing food, ruining clothes, and making holes in everything. The people living in the house couldn't sleep well at night because of them. Sometimes, the rats even attacked and bit the babies, which made things even worse.

The owner of the house got really frustrated and tired of this situation. Finally, he came up with an idea. He decided to get a cat to catch and kill the rats. The cat started hunting down the rats one by one, scaring them and making them stay hidden. So, the rats had a meeting to figure out how to deal with the cat. Many ideas were discussed, but none of them seemed to work.

Then, a young mouse stood up and said, "I have an idea. Let's put a bell around the cat's neck. That way, when the cat comes near, we'll hear the bell jingle and know to run away." The other mice thought it was a great idea and thanked the young mouse for his clever plan. But an older mouse raised an important question, "That sounds good, but who's going to actually put the bell on the cat?"

When the old mouse asked this, everyone became silent. The meeting ended without a solution, and eventually, the mice left the house to save themselves from the cat.

Moral of the cat story:

It's easy to suggest things, but not always easy to put them into action.

We often like to give advice, but when it comes to facing challenges, it's a different story.

Providing advice is simple, but dealing with tough situations can be quite difficult.

Getting advice is straightforward, but finding someone who can actually handle a difficult situation is not so easy.
